Can you believe that CubeCart has been around since 2003? What started out as a small project has snowballed powering thousands of stores globally. If you have a success story you would allow us to publish we would be truly very grateful if you could share it with us. We need new merchants to realise the potential they have using CubeCart. This will help contribute to further growth, new features and an all round brighter future for everyone. Please feel free to email me personally at [email protected] with your company name, store URL and short success story of upto say 300 words. Many thanks to you all for your support.

In the skin's config.xml, find the <image reference="category">. It is set for 800 pixels on the longest dimension. Change this to 900. It will auto-scale down to fit the container (which is 848 px wide). Next, you will need to find the CSS rule (I do not know where it would be.): .cat-hdr-img img { margin: 0px auto 5px; } Change to: .cat-hdr-img img { margin: 0 0 5px; } This CSS change will remove the margin that the browser adds to either side of the image, in equal part, to center the image in the slightly wider container. Be sure to clear Cubecart's cache.

The developer will probably / should be releasing a new version of the skin to take account of all of the skin changes included in this recent version. However, if you are using a modified version, then that update will not automatically apply to your store and you should chat to the developer about this. If you dont make all the front end skin changes then you wont be able to take advantage of any fixes / new functionality that has been added - you may say that you dont need this functionality but it is always best to stay fully up to date because the situation simply gets worse and worse with each upgrade that is released - this is the problem with having custom changes

Try this: In includes/ckeditor/config.js, at the bottom, find: config.allowedContent = true; }; Change to: config.allowedContent = true; config.coreStyles_italic = {element : 'em'}; config.extraAllowedContent = 'i[*]{*}(*)'; }; CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty = '{i: 0}'; The same added statements can be used for other HTML tags used in unorthodox ways.

Email routing will automatically be set to "Automatic" or sometimes "Local Mail Exchanger" which in 99.99% of cases will be the same thing. You only need to set it to Remote if you are using external MX records pointing away from your hosting company which is effectively what Godaddy are forcing you to do by closing email ports. Some people choose to use gmail or other email service providers, but why should you have to ? Disabling php mail() is standard practice now for security reasons (WHM built in security advisor flags this as a high security risk if it is enabled !) and SMTP should always be used and configured to use SSL / TLS. Email sent via SMTP is much more secure, more likely to be delivered and not rejected or put into spam and isnt complicated to use. So much so, I would recommend that php mail() is removed as an option in CubeCart as it is very likely to disappear as an option in the near future Ian

For anyone that uses git with CubeCart (or any other packages for that matter), cPanel have been adding a huge amount of functionality which will be included in V68 - see https://features.cpanel.net/topic/allow-users-to-install-websites-from-version-control V68 is already in Edge release status so most people will not have access to it yet, but V68 should be into general release in a few months (V66 has just been released in the last week) Ian

This is the first time using this cart. Like it a lot, easy to work with and the CMS feature is excellent, my previous cart didn't have that. Didn't customize too much but happy with the way it came out. Don's Vintage Audio Feedback welcome!

The 'top menu' is the "Navigation" bar (or sometimes "Shop by Category" box). The menu is built from all the categories (enabled and unhidden) there are. There are also three special items: Home, Sale Items, and Gift Certificates. To add any other links to this group would require editing the skin template "box.navigation.php".

It is the whole reported number as the percentage, that is, for you, 7.00 (do not include the actual percent character). If you are experiencing this in CC654, please know that several stores are experiencing tax calculation issues. The solution at present is to make an edit to the following file: /classes/cart.class.php, line 1203, remove the line: $this->get(); The value $37.90 is 3X what the tax should be, thus somewhere, somehow, CubeCart is running $179 through the tax calculator three times. (Personally, I have not discovered why, but the programmers imply this should be the fix.)

Yes, you can. Having different content implies having a distinct and separate database - or, at least a distinct table prefix (can be on the same database server).

In admin, Email Templates, click the language of the email you wish to edit. On the next screen, on the HTML Content tab, note that in the list of Available Macros, there is {$DATA.customer_comments}. Add this to the HTML of the email wherever you wish. For example: Find: <p><a href="{$DATA.link}">{$DATA.link}</a></p> Add after: <p>Your comments about this order: &quot;{$DATA.customer_comments}&quot;</p>

It sounds like you may be encountering a technical issue while trying to generate a token. Without additional information, it's difficult to provide specific troubleshooting advice. However, one possible solution could be to clear your browser cache and cookies, and then try generating the token again. Regarding your question about the tracking ID, it depends on which version of Google Analytics you are using. If you are using the newer Google Analytics 4, then you would enter the g-tag number (e.g. G-0K5RYTYZ11) as the tracking ID. If you are still using the older Universal Analytics, then you would enter the UA number (e.g. UA-26600668-1) as the tracking ID. UPSers Login

According to this issue in the Github: https://github.com/cubecart/v6/issues/2754 a zone cannot be created against countries and counties/states that are not enabled. However, the question remains, what if a country is later disabled, after a zone has been created for it? Will CubeCart still offer any shipping to a customer whose delivery address contains a disabled country/county/state? Regardless, a means to enable/disable each already created zone is a nice idea. Be back soon.

Please make the following change: {literal} <!-- Google tag (gtag.js) --> ... all the javascript code ... </script> {/literal} That is, surround the supplied code with Smarty's "Take this literally!" command. Otherwise, Smarty will try to interpret anything between braces as commands for itself.

Decided to persist with getting the wamp server to work in a ssl mode, so I could use PayPal commerce working offline with CubeCart. Well it has gone 10pm now and after looking at lots of variations on other sites and lots of trial and error, I have FINALLY got the PayPal Commerce extension working fully in wamp, meaning I can develop my sites offline and upload to live servers when completed... Yay.!!! This is the difference with working with outfits like CubeCart, you get help rather than sarcasm and assistance rather than bitter critique. Forwards and onwards..... Thanks Al

Experiments have shown that making these two edits will resolve this issue.

Brains suggestion is definately the way to go initially. Create a new file ini-custom.inc.php in the root of your store. I did have issues with the memory size when i did this, so you might want to play with this. <?php # Custom initialization commands # Filename: ini-custom.inc.php # File location: main CubeCart folder ini_set('memory_limit', '256M'); ini_set('max_execution_time', '60'); ini_set('error_log', 'error_log'); ini_set('log_errors', 'on'); ?> To add to this, Cubecart support is extermely fair. You'd be hard pushed to find dedicated product support at such a price anywhere else. https://www.cubecart.com/technical-support

Chaps.. This situation is embarrasing, I'm getting female members of my team telling me that they are receiving explicit messages from one of our contact forms. Can anyone suggest how I get invisible working, failing that I'll have to employ the services of a dev to write something which works.

The All in One Shipping module has a Debug setting. Choose to see a Very Verbose explanation. The debug analysis will show why there were no shipping rates found to satisfy the required conditions.

Amazing! Thank you that is so helpful. I will take a look.

I wonder if a specific browser plugin could be to blame... messing with the DOM.

We need to find out why they aren't 'sticking'. My experience tells me to first look at those settings that could possibly make the aggregate amount of content larger than 64KiB. Those settings are the Offline Message and Copyright Text. Then second, look at the error log.

I am wondering if, somehow perhaps a bug in the code, installing de-DE "over" the existing de-DE language pack, didn't actually overwrite the existing databased content of the email-contents with the contents of the new file of that incoming language pack. (Unlike the language phrases that exist in a file in a language pack, the phrases of the email-contents file of the language pack are all databased.) I will check on that. In the meantime, you can sort the above listing and delete all rows having 'content_id' equal to or greater than 26.

@radman420 by data issue i mean that it would appear no data (in this case Products) is been supplied to the $POPULAR variable which is used to load the popular products section. Since it appears to happen in both the Foundation and Amzin skin that would suggest that it isn't caused by the skins. All i can suggest is pop a message in Technical Help section as this is beyond a skin issue. Perhaps something went wrong during the CubeCart Update or a setting has changed. I'm running 6.4.1 with Amzin and Foundation and the popular box is loading fine so i'm not sure whats causing yours to not load since you updated.

Thanks Nitfox. I offer you a beer for sharing .. thank you again ..

Provided that the digital file is publically accessible, in admin, Add/Edit Product, Digital tab, Custom File Path section, you may enter either a direct path to a folder on CubeCart's server, or a Full Web Address that points to anywhere on the Internet. If your AWS repository requires a login, that may pose an obstacle unless you know how to overcome it.

Hey Claudia - you probably want to edit your post to get your actual admin_XXXX.php name out of public view. As for the database warning you're getting, it's being discussed in GitHub.

There will be some major work involved to make the BXSlider "viewport" take a specific height and then allow for the images to scale accordingly - and not make things messy. For example, a collection of 1000x300px images shown in a max-height 200px viewport will have the bottom 100px not visible. To then scale the images (reduce the width and height) so that the height fits, the width will also be reduced to 666px. That will really mess up the overall display of the slider. The BXSlider javascript scans through the collection of images and finds: if horizontal slides, the height of the tallest image if adaptiveHeight is true, dynamically changes the height of the viewport if vertical slides, the combined height of all images (see adaptiveHeight) I see two possible solutions: make all your images no taller than the max-height, or use a different slider.

Took me ages to change my signature as could not find it due to font colour being faint, Whats that all about.

So, for a category record in CubeCart_category table, the 'cat_image' value could be an integer other than zero. Take note of an integer value, such as 36 for example. Then, in CubeCart_filemanager, find the record with file_id of the integer value noted earlier (36, for example). The 'filepath' column must be null or have the name of an actual folder. Does this record exist?

Smarty would not have caused that extent of slowness - it was stupidly slow. Disabling the related product plugin fixed the issue and proved it was something to do with that - probably missing indexes, especially if you have lots of products. The search not working can often be caused by a missing index on the inventory table so do a table by table comparison of the indexes

When uploading the new CubeCart package, you will be 'overwriting' all existing files. The existing file /includes/global.inc.php contains info specific to your installation - thus this file cannot exist in a CubeCart downloaded package. It won't have the right info, and you wouldn't want an empty file overwriting the existing file. Existing files not found in the downloaded package will not be overwritten (images, other skins, languages, plugins, etc). Look in the existing global.inc.php file and rename the extracted admin.php and admin folder from the downloaded package to those names. Then, the upload will correctly overwrite the existing admin file and folder with the accurately-named admin file and folder from the package. For most scenarios, you may ignore the file /includes/global.inc.php-dist. This is included for those who want to study what information is required should they wish to fool about with the installation. An upgrade (or same-version reload) uses the existing global.inc.php, and a fresh installation creates a new global.inc.php, renaming any existing global.inc.php to have a dated backup filename.

You could add a google search engine quite easily https://cse.google.com/cse/

Making CC3 work with later versions of PHP will require some edits to the code. The latest versions of all the CubeCart version families are now configured to not have any licensing requirements.

Please try: In /classes/cubecart.class.php, near lines 2147-2151 (for CC618), find: $GLOBALS['smarty']->assign('REDIRECT_TO', $redir); $GLOBALS['smarty']->assign('URL', array( 'register' => $GLOBALS['seo']->buildURL('register'), 'recover' => $GLOBALS['seo']->buildURL('recover')) ); On the blank line after that, add: $meta_data=array('name'=>"Login",'path'=>null,'description'=>"Your Login Page",'keywords'=>"Login",'title'=>"Login",);$GLOBALS['seo']->set_meta_data($meta_data);

Thanks!

I would suggest that you ask @havenswift-hosting for help, as I was hoping it was some simple setting that had been messed up on upgrading. If you don't already have the error log, please do that and see if there are any messages when you do a test order that might be helpful. https://forums.cubecart.com/topic/51550-how-to-create-the-error-log/

Welcome to the forums @twistedsymphony! Do you have Store Settings>Stock set to Reduce stock levels on Processing? Is Store Settings>Misc>Features set to Order Status send on Processing? Have you run the email TEST after saving all correct settings for Store Settings>Advanced>Email?

I've run into that same issue, and what I decided to do was to always include the product code in both the long and short descriptions so that product variants will at least not have completely identical descriptions. Now I'm no expert on SEO algorithms, but it doesn't seem to have hurt our store rankings; that may be because the other stores in our line of business have the same problem, or it may be that it is no longer penalized as heavily as it once was. I'm not the one to ask.

There is an open bug report on GitHub about this. For now, do not use traditional pagination.

Thanks Al, it maybe purely coincidental but i did not have any PP issues until i updated from 6.1.1 to 6.1.7 on Friday. if i compare the IPN messages before and after the upgrade i don't see any difference they all say sent and no reattempts the url is the same

The "Shop by Category" reference is the default title of the sidebox of nav links on skins designed for CC5 (which still work with CC6). It is not a "file", per se. You can see this in the MarketPlace. The Foundation skin does not use a title for the top menu bar. A 'title' would be what you see in the "Best Sellers" box, or "Featured Product" box. CubeCart uses a template rendering engine that will cache compiled templates - needing only then to fill in the variables with values. When making edits to templates, you will need to clear the cache of already compiled templates. One way to do this is in admin, Maintenance, Rebuild tab, check Clear cache, click Submit. Another way is to make the browser request this URL: www.store.com/index.php?debug-cache-clear=true

" Macro {$DATA.link} still does not work in that specific email template " I see what's going on. Try this version: Change to: case self::ORDER_DECLINED: // Nothing to do, but leave the option here for hooks & such break; case self::ORDER_FAILED: // Email the customer to explain their order failed fraud review $this->assignOrderDetails(); $content = $mailer->loadContent('cart.payment_fraud', $order_summary['lang']); // removed $this->_order_summary) so that assigned details will not be overwritten break; case self::ORDER_CANCELLED: // Cancelled $this->assignOrderDetails(); $content = $mailer->loadContent('cart.order_cancelled', $order_summary['lang']); // removed $this->_order_summary) so that assigned details will not be overwritten break;

Well, it seems that for this specific part of the program, it does not include the sorter data. Let's fix that. In /classes/catalogue.class.php, near line 1571, find: if ($search_mode == 'fulltext' && $search_str_len >= $max_word_len) { Next, find: } else { that corresponds to the above if(). Next, find the statement that begins with: $q2 = "SELECT I.* FROM At the end of that statement, it should look like: AND I.status = 1 ".$whereString.$rlike; Change to: AND I.status = 1 ".$whereString.$rlike." ".$order_string;

The space will still exist. (Sale Items show up in this right sidebar as well.) That area, <div id="sidebar_left">, will consume three of the twelve columns in the large view regardless if there is any content in it.
